In the field of energy, Professor Michel Armand is the most influential researcher in the Basque Country overall and among all of Spain’s researchers. In the field of mechanical engineering, on the other hand, the most influential researcher in the Basque Country is Elena Palomo, the Ikerbasque Professor and head of the Scientific Direction of the Thermal Energy Solutions Area.

Montse Casas-Cabanas, the Scientific Coordinator of the Electrochemical Storage Area and Ikerbasque Research Associate; Javier Carrasco, the head of the Modelling and Computational Simulation group; and Yaroslav Grosu, the head of the Interfacial Phenomena and Porous Media group, round out the list of CIC energiGUNE scientists.
CIC energiGUNE, the Basque research centre of reference in electrochemical energy storage, thermal energy storage and conversion and hydrogen technologies, has five of the most relevant scientists in the world on its staff, according to the «Ranking of the World Scientists» prepared every year by Stanford University and the academic publishing house Elsevier.
The list, recently published, contains the information corresponding to the scientific activity carried out in 2022. According to the data of this publication, considered the main international reference in the scientific field, Professor Michel Armand once again appears as the most important researcher in the Basque Country, considering all scientific branches, and in fourth place at the national level. Within the field of Energy, Professor Armand, honorary scientific director of the area of electrochemistry, stands out as the most relevant researcher both in the Basque Country and in Spain, as well as being recognized as the twelfth most important worldwide.
Similarly, Elena Palomo, Scientific Director of the Thermal Energy Solutions Area of CIC energiGUNE and Ikerbasque Professor, remains the most influential in the Basque Country and the sixth in Spain in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
In the field of energy, in addition to Michel Armand, the list also includes Montse Casas-Cabanas, Scientific Coordinator of the Electrochemical Storage Area of the centre and Ikerbasque Research Associate, as the tenth most important scientist in the Basque Country, while in the field of Applied Physics, CIC energiGUNE also has two reference researchers: Javier Carrasco, who is listed as the fifth most influential researcher in the Basque Country in the field of Chemical Physics and is one of the 60 most prestigious researchers in the territory considering all scientific branches; and Yaroslav Grosu, head of the Interfacial Phenomena and Porous Media group, in the 14th position of the most influential in the Basque Country in the field of Applied Physics.
The ranking of the renowned Californian institution is based on the impact of published research, taking into account various factors such as co-authorship or the percentage of self-citations, as well as through the combined analysis of a series of standardised parameters directly related to the impact of indexed scientific publications. The study gives an overview of both the historical professional career of the researchers and the specific work carried out in the last year analysed, which in this case corresponds to 2022.
